Chapter 606
Ethan remembered what had happened last night. So, he decided not to let Olivia receive any morestimulation. But he didn’t want her to think that he was deceiving her.
He skirted around the issue and said, “There was a small problem. It’s the incident with Kelvin. Thingsare getting out of hand online, so I don’t want those trivial matters to upset you.”
“Is it very tricky?”
“Not exactly. I didn’t let the PR department do their job because we’re still collecting evidence. Somepeople are trying to make use of the chaos to stir up trouble.”
Leaning in, Ethan gently pinched her cheek as he spoke lovingly, “You don’t have to think about thesethings. After resolving this issue, we’ll be moving overseas.
“Rest well at home for the next few days, and avoid these negative news articles. I wouldn’t want you toget affected by this.”novelbin
Olivia knew that he was doing this for her good. So, she didn’t insist on her opinion. “Alright. Pleasesave Kelvin as soon as possible.”
“Sure. I have to go out to handle some matters today. Be good and wait for me at home.”
“Okay.”
Ethan planted a kiss on her forehead. Then, he turned around and went downstairs.
Listening to the sounds of the car starting outside, Olivia saw him off.
She wasn’t fond of looking at her phone anyway. The biggest role her phone played was to fill in theholes in her memory.
Madam Burgess had already prepared a feast for breakfast, and she was even humming in the kitchen.She seemed to be in a good mood as she pulled out the chair for Olivia.
“Mrs. Miller, you’re so skinny, so you should eat more. When you’re overseas, you won’t be able totaste my cooking even if you wanted to.”
“I’ll miss you so much, Madam Burgess.”
Madam Burgess had always been a straightforward woman. She was happy at first, but then, shethought about their imminent parting. A look of longing flashed across her face.
“I’ll miss you too. Mr. Miller suggested that I go overseas with you to take care of you, but I have mychildren and family as well. For most of my life, I’ve been rooted to this place.
“Out there, it’s an unfamiliar territory with strangers everywhere. It’s also quite inconvenient to go homeand visit. So, I had no choice but to decline Mr. Miller’s suggestion.”
As Madam Burgess spoke, she never stopped moving. She served Olivia some food.
“Mr. Miller is a good man. He truly does love you. You two have been through too much all these years.
“But no matter what happens, Mrs. Miller, just trust Mr. Miller. He’s the one who loves you the most inthis world.”
Madam Burgess wiped her tears as she spoke pausingly. This was probably a good ending for Olivia.
She would take good care of Olivia in the last few days so that there would be no regrets.
Affected by the mood of parting, Olivia felt a little downcast as well.
“It’s almost New Year’s. You can spend New Year’s Day with your family this year.”
Smiling, Madam Burgess said, “Yes, but after you two go overseas, you can spend New Year’s Daywith family as well.
“After Madam Eugenia passed away, Mr. Miller has been through quite a lot of hardships in recentyears.”
At the mention of Ethan’s family, Olivia felt nervous for some reason.
“Madam Burgess, Ethan rarely tells me about his family. What are his parents like?”
“Oh, Mrs. Miller, I’m just a housekeeper. I shouldn’t gossip about these things. I can only say that Mr.Miller has been through tough times.
“Mrs. Miller Senior had always been a little unstable in her mental state. Mr. Miller never receivedmotherly love from her.
“They rarely meet each other, and even if they spend time together, it’d always be filled with conflict.”
Olivia asked, “How so?”
Madam Burgess pulled up a chair and sat down next to Olivia. “Well, I guess it’s not a bad thing for youto hear about these things sooner.
“You can learn from it, or you’ll be at a disadvantage when you get there in the future.”
Olivia nodded eagerly. “Go on, Madam Burgess.”
“It all started with Mr. Miller Senior.”
He was the man who never showed up, and Ethan had never even mentioned him before. “Whathappened with his dad?”
